The last 10 games are all going to be much needed wins.

I'm hoping they can go at least 7-3. I worried because the team looks tired.

Looked like they were starting to turn a corner against the Habs and the jackets then they took a little step back yesterday imo and definitely tonight but pulled it out thankfully. Really would like to get Boychuck and Cizikas back in the line up and get Ladd and Hickey back out I think that’ll help.

It wasn’t that’s why I said “little step back”. It certainly was not nearly as bad as tonight. They took quite a few shifts off in their own zone yesterday and stoppped skating at times and there was pretty much no physical play. This team is successful when they can get a decent forecheck going and play the body. That wasn’t happening yesterday for stretches.

Yea I was watching on phone in a crowded room so I was a bit distracted. Tonight they were just lazy and off and Boston is up next and they generally dont match up well against them

That’s why getting the W tonight was so huge. I really can’t wait to go to the Coliseum on Tuesday.

(frank)ing Murray standing on his head in this period. Looking like Pittsburgh is keeping pace with us.

Good for the isles. They would play the canes if the playoffs started today, who would you prefer the canes bjs or pens in a first round matchup

Mathew Barzal couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat right now as far as scoring goals, but he's still 0-6-6 in the last six games and the main driver of just about everything the #Isles are doing on offense. I'll have a little more on him tomorrow @TheAthleticNYC.

Don't get me wrong, I openly acknowledge that Barzal is driving the offence right now. Yet without a finisher on his wing, those sweet feeds would be all for naught.

Both Barzal and Lee deserve props for their play of late.

Could've done without the Detroit loss, but at least they played well. That OT goal last night was pretty though

I’m a little nervous that team might start gelling at some point but like others have pointed out already, Bobrovsky’s playoff resume is weak.

Truth be told, I don’t care who we play. Actually, the pens look ripe for a first-round loss.
